Walking through the Marais on my way home from the dentist, where I had a painful experience, literally and financially, I then had a joyful experience when I found a delightful new shop. Pot Paris, stocks vases, planters, and flowerpots, made exclusively in France. The crowded, but well curated shop celebrates ceramic artists in France, with a selection of terracotta, porcelain, and earthenware
On a two of the shelves I was attracted to some pieces in jewel colors which had distinct architectural shapes to them. The collection was designed by Romina Gris, who based her designs on fine arts and classic architecture.
The genial owner Jean, shared that he and his partner traveled all over France to find the finest artisans and ceramicists, producing handmade items, while preserving their work into the future. There is their first shop.
You can also customize a pot or planter on their website. They offer four different models and you can select the size and color you like.
35 Rue des Blancs Manteaux, 75004
